Eugenia Thornton asked if she could wrap her arms around Julia Oliver. “Thank you so much, thank you so much,” Thornton said to her. “Standing on the shoulders of giants.”Oliver had come to the Perryville Branch Library on Saturday to watch Thornton speak on a 27-year career in a less-than-actually integrated Army — that’s something the two have in common. Oliver enlisted in 1958, Thornton in 1973.At this event, held just days before the 75th anniversary of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) founding on May 15, 1942, the two shared a warm moment together. Thornton, who’s considered a pioneer for female officers in the U.S. military, thanked Oliver for paving the way before her.The pair’s conversation was a striking example of a slow climb of progress. In 1964, Oliver became the first woman assigned to play in an Army band that wasn’t the WAC’s. In 1973, Thornton joined the first class of women officers trained to lead and work with men. Each of them looked up to the women who came before them.“When I was in the service, I made a point to get to know women who were in World War II, because there was nobody to pave the way for them,” Oliver said.Thornton’s presentation to a crowd of 20 started with a brief history of women in the U.S. military dating back to the Revolutionary War, then delved into her personal history with the Army. Though it was scheduled to run about 45 minutes, it went roughly twice as long.Thornton was born in Union Hospital and grew up in this county, attending Gilpin Manor Elementary School and Bohemia Manor Middle School. She moved to Delaware for high school, then to Kent County to attend Washington College, but she returned to wait tables at Chesapeake Inn while searching for jobs after college.From there, she tested for the Army and became an officer. That was the beginning of a career that spanned almost three decades.As Thornton explained, that first class of female officers wasn’t a social experiment, it was a necessity to strengthen an Army that, largely because of the draft, was far less disciplined than it is today. But the men took longer to come around to the idea.Thornton was objectified and belittled in her day-to-day interactions, with many soldiers failing to consider her more than “someone to date,” she said. Beyond that, soldiers’ wives perceived her more foe than friend, as they worried she would destroy their marriages.Especially in those early days, Thornton was made to feel ostracized, she said. She recalled particularly painful memories at Fort Riley, Kansas, where fellow soldiers would stare aghast at her wearing the 1st Infantry Division insignia, as if she didn’t deserve to wear the badge of “The Big Red One.”“Instead of being welcomed, I was shunned,” she said.She became the first woman to be deployed in a major field exercise, in a show of force in Germany against the Soviet Union, and became a national story after the Associated Press wrote about her. Unfortunately, that press coverage did little to ease her situation in the Army. Her raised profile made her a target for more objectification, and at Saturday’s presentation she showed a cartoon that a colleague had drawn of her, depicting her more as a sexual fantasy than a human.But she remained focused and, despite adversity, continued to rise through the ranks. In the 1980s and ’90s, she became an even more important figure in the Army’s ranks.She was thanked for her service by President George H.W. Bush, provided President Bill Clinton information about the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and worked closely with retired Army Gen. Colin Powell.“But the most important part of my career is that I really did get to be a part of history. So many of us in the military feel this way,” she said. “When we look at the news, we’re going, ‘Oh, well I remember when I did this plan.’ A lot of us have had a lot of impact on how things go today.“There’s a lot of us that have touched so many things in the military, and I certainly was no stranger to that.”Thornton, Ralph Rees ’40, Army, SergeantTodd, Paul ’31, Army, 1st LieutenantTolj, Henry Donald ’47, Army, CorporalTolles, Winton, Naval Reserve, Lt.

Vandervoort led his battalion in defending the town of Sainte-Mère-?glise on June 6 in “Mission Boston,” despite having broken his ankle on landing.During “Operation Market Garden” in September 1944, he led the assault on the Waal Bridge at Nijmegen while the 3rd Battalion, 504th PIR, made the assault crossing. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway described Vandervoort as “one of the bravest and toughest battle commanders I ever knew.”At Goronne he was wounded by mortar fire, so was unable to take part in the divisions’ advance into Germany. Vandervoort was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross twice.Vandervoort, Charles Otis ’38VanVliet, William Jr. ’46Viguers, Thomas Lawrence Jr. ’46, Army, Flight OfficerVincent, Irving Phillips ’39, ArmyVoith, George Gerard ’45, Naval Reserve, Lieutenant JGWalalkus, William Peter ’40, Naval ReserveWaldinan, Sidney ’44Walheim, Lawrence Matthew Jr. ’46, LieutenantWalk, John Douglass, ArmyWalkins, Rogers Pennington ’36, Army Air Corps, Staff SergeantWallace, William Jennings ’18, Army, Brigadier GeneralWallers, John Gillespie ’45, ArmyWalls, Edwin Clyde ’19Walls, Fletcher Emory, ArmyWalls, Samuel Charles Jr. ’34, NavyWalsh, Harry Martin ’46, NavyWard, Ellery Jerome ’36, ArmyWard, Herbert Francis Jr. ’48, ArmyWard, Joseph Arthur Jr. ’45, Army, SergeantWare, Reuben Mulford ’39, ArmyWarfield, Henry Branch ’45, Naval ReserveWarther, John (Marty) Jr. ’43, NavyIn May 1943 John entered Notre Dame Midshipman School. He graduated Ensign, USNR, and entered Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons Training Center, Melville, Rhode Island. He graduated as a PT boat officer. After that, he attended Marine Jungle Warfare training at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina. He received priority order to replace an officer on a boat in the South Pacific (Squadron 8.) On his first night on the submarine, the patrol boat was blown up. He became executive officer with Skipper Wally L. on PT 114 and was bombed by a Japanese plane on the next patrol. Many were severely injured in machine gun turrets, but he was saved by a torpedo tube. He managed to return PT 114, with about 1,000 holes, back to a New Guinea base. John continued in the war with two tours in the Pacific for three-and-a-half years.Warther, William Edward ’47, Army, SergeantWatson, Edward M. ’42, Air Force, SergeantWathen, Thomas Vernon ’30, Naval ReserveWatt, Graham W., Naval ReserveWeaver, David Paul ’47, Naval ReserveWeaver, John Stanley ’46, Army, SergeantWeer, James Edward ’36, Naval Reserve, Lieutenant JGWeisberg, Seymour S. ’46, Army, LieutenantWells, CharlesWerner, Herman Oscar, Naval Reserve, LieutenantWetzel, Kenneth Harlan ’51, NavyWharton, Albert Watson ’41, Naval Reserve, Lieutenant JGWheatley, Charles Frazier Jr. ’38, Army, CaptainWheeler, Bix ’49, Air ForceWhite, Allen Howard ’15,?

Following graduation from flight school, promotion to first lieutenant, and designation as a Naval aviator in March 1969, he was assigned as a helicopter pilot to Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron (HMM) 264 in New River, North Carolina, where he trained to fly the CH-46D Sea Knight helicopter. After completing CH-46 qualification and participation in a three-month cruise aboard the USS Guadalcanal to learn the finer points of carrier and amphibious operations, Mr. Smith was assigned in November 1969 to fly with HMM-161 in the Republic of Vietnam. During his service there, he was shot down twice and crashed once due to a control system failure, miraculously walking away from all three incidents without injury. Mr. Smith left the Marines as a captain in 1975 and trained to be a computer applications software engineer, an occupation in which he is still employed.In 1982, the desire to get back in the air led him to join the Pennsylvania Army National Guard as a part-time Army warrant officer pilot. He spent 20 of the next 23 years flying UH-1H “Huey” helicopters, and the last three of those years flying the UH-60A Blackhawk helicopter, retiring in September 2005 with more than 31 years of military service. During his time in the Guard, Mr. Smith served one rotation in Central America supporting Army road-building operations through the mountains of Honduras, and a year-long tour of active duty supporting United Nations peace-keeping operations in Kosovo, Republic of Serbia.Stafford, H. Allen ’63, Navy, Fighter PilotAllen Stafford was a Navy fighter pilot who spent five-and-a-half years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. Beginning in 1964, Lt.Cmdr. Stafford did three tours in Vietnam: one flying bombing missions from aircraft carriers, another as a forward air observer directing air strikes from the ground in South Vietnam, and a third as an adviser to the surface fleet from aboard amphibious vessels. Stafford’s Skyhawk single-engine plane was shot down over the port city of Hai Phong on Aug. 31, 1967. Despite barbaric treatment, he and his fellow captives survived by their wits: keeping the lines of communication open between the POWs through tap code and sign language; memorizing meticulous records of every American pilot who was shot down and where he was being held; and conducting lessons in languages, literature, physics, and philosophy. At the “Hanoi Hilton,” with its smooth concrete floors serving as chalkboards, prisoners appointed “deans” in each room who developed curricula of study. With the end of the war, Stafford was released March 15, 1973, and began the road to recovery. He served out the remainder of his Navy career in Pensacola, commanding a survival school there. Stafford, who had studied at St. John’s College in Annapolis and at Washington College before returning to active duty, finished his college degree in sociological disciplines at the University of West Pensacola.Stevens, David E. ’65, Navy, PilotTilley, Douglas S. ’54, NavyTopodas, Jonathan M. ’68, Army, awarded Bronze StarVanDerClock, Bob ’68, 1970–71, Military IntelligenceWare, Roderic B. ’54, NavyWilliams, Douglas ’65, Navy ReserveDuring the summer of 1966, while working as a systems engineer for Long Island Lighting Company in Hicksville, New York, Doug enlisted in the Navy Flight Program and reported for training in Pensacola, Florida, in February 1967. Upon completion of Aviation Officer Candidate School in April 1967, he was commissioned an ensign in the USNR.In December 1967, Doug graduated from flight training and received his Wings of Gold, after which he began Fleet Replacement Training at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, Virginia Beach, Virginia, for duty involving flying the A-6 Intruder, a carrier-based, all-weather attack aircraft.After completion of Replacement Air Group (RAG) training in September 1969, Doug reported to his first fleet squadron, Attack Squadron 75, as part of Carrier Air Wing Three (CVW-3) aboard the USS Saratoga (CVA-60).After a two-year tour of duty in the fleet, Doug received orders back to the A-6 Replacement Training Squadron, VA-42 at NAS Oceana to become an instructor. Two-and-a-half years later, he was rotated back to the fleet and was assigned to Attack Squadron 176, in Air Wing Six (CVW-6) aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42).In the fall of 1975, Doug received orders to shore duty again and was assigned as assistant maintenance officer of Medium Attack Wing One at Naval Air Station, Oceana. During this period of “builddown” after the Vietnam War, he decided by the spring of 1977 to leave active duty and seek a new civilian career. To preserve his investment in an 11-year Navy career, he transferred to the Naval Air Reserve as a selected reservist and continued flying in the EA-6A with Electronic Warfare Squadron (VAQ) 209.After four more years of flying and being promoted to the rank of commander, Doug’s flying days were over. In 1983, he received orders to the staff of Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Atlantic (COMNAVAIRLANT) in Norfolk, Virginia, where he performed in various billets until being promoted to the rank of captain in 1989.Doug’s last reserve duty assignment was at Naval Air Reserve Norfolk, where he performed inspections and leadership training of Naval Air Reserve units in the Norfolk area and at the Naval Reserve Air Station, Atlanta, Georgia. Doug’s Naval career ended in September 1994, when he retired after 27 years of service, an experience for which he feels both privileged and proud.Williams, Marvin V.
